Synthetic dataset of ID and Travel Documents.

This paper presents a new synthetic dataset of ID and travel documents, called SIDTD. The SIDTD dataset is created to help training and evaluating forged ID documents detection systems. Such a dataset has become a necessity as ID documents contain personal information and a public dataset of real documents can not be released.

Effect of dexmedetomidine on postoperative adenotonsillectomy oral intake and dehydration.

Objective: To determine if perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine affects postoperative fluid intake in tonsillectomy patients.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed at University Medical Center, Texas Tech Health Science Center, Lubbock, Texas. The study identified 534 patients within the last five years who met the criteria.

The Effects of Positive Psychological Factors on the Mental Wellbeing of Medical Students.

Objective A well-established association exists between academic performance and levels of depression and anxiety among medical students. However, the effects of positive psychological factors on symptoms of depression and anxiety and academic performance have not been adequately studied. This study explores the relationship between the above variables and identifies positive psychological factors that can promote medical student wellbeing.

Novel clinical risk calculator for improving cancer predictability of mpMRI fusion biopsy in prostates.

Purpose: Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) assists in evaluating lesions on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), but there are still ongoing efforts in improving the predictive value for the presence of clinically significant PCa (csPCa) with a Gleason grade group ≥ 2 on Fusion-Biopsy. This pilot study intends to propose an easily implementable method for augmenting predictability of csPCa for PI-RADS.

Methods: A cohort of 151 consecutive patients underwent mpMRI Fusion and random US Biopsy as a result of having at least one PI-RADS lesion grade 3-5 between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2022.

Biocompatible Gold Nanoparticles-Modified Fluorine Doped Tin Oxide Electrode for the Fabrication of Enzyme-Free Glucose Sensor.

This work demonstrates the use of jute stick extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent for the synthesis of spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In UV-Vis spectroscopy, peak at 550 nm was used to confirm the formation of AuNPs. The spherical surface morphology of AuNPs was determined through SEM and TEM analysis.
